I wish I had more time to read St John Chrysostom. Wonderful explanation on Adam's removal from the Garden.
Thanks again for the Father's quotes.
I recall that it is a teaching of the Fathers that Christ, upon His descent into Hades, first went to Adam to bring him to heaven with him...

Yes, that is a theologoumenon. I've heard it too. The icon I posted would seem to indicate otherwise, but its fairly modern. Some very old ones I've seen in Mistras in Greece don't show any of the prophets of King David etc, but rather just show Adam and Eve.
